I am stoked to share this with you because I am genuinely excited about this machine how it can make investing in Apple products infinitely cheaper!

Hi! I'm confused about Ugreen's max storage, THIS 22T*4+4T*2 thing cofuses me. I have a quick question if anyone may happen to know it; it would help a lot so I can get the NAS before the Kickstarter ends. Would I be able to use the 4 bay plus version with 4 of these HDDs (Seagate Exos X18 18TB Enterprise HDD)? My budget is short so I would be buying one at a time. No backup up necessary, I just need external, server-like storage and when one drive starts to decay I will put another and copy everything there. Thank you

@PatrickRambles 28 дней назад

Hey Andrew, it means you can add a max of 22 Terabyte times 4 plus another 4 Terabyte times two in the form of NVME SSD. I run 4x18TB ironwolf drives and they run very well (and loud 😂). I understand the cost issue and you can populate the bays one by one, but since HDD drives can also fail suddenly, it's risky not to run it in a RAID configuration.

@@PatrickRambles Then, I fear, I would not buy it. PCs running Linux would make a much more practical NAS. Or FreeNAS.. One of our offices fell into that trap recently, when the office NAS died, taking with it a great deal of crucial data. They didn't have another copy, thinking that if it was on the NAS, it was "safe." I spent many hours trying to recover the data, got some of it, but unfortunately, the NAS took a couple of crucial folders with it when it died. Bye-bye. A NAS needs backup too.

@PatrickRambles 2 месяца назад

100% a NAS needs backup. And yes there are much more open options like building your own. I think this NAS is built for people who want the benefits of a NAS but don’t want to dive deep into it. It’s almost plug and play.

@NathanGregoryAuthor 2 месяца назад

@@PatrickRambles Agreed, and there is a place for it. But what bothers me about this is these inexpensive standalone NAS systems create a trap that unwary, or unknowledgeable users can fall into all too easily, thinking that if they have a NAS, they are safe, or that a NAS is a replacement for cloud storage. The very title of this video propagates that idea, and that is simply false. A single NAS is NOT a replacement for cloud storage. You need multiple NAS, cloud storage or some other means to backup the NAS. That's my objection, my point, that the video propagates a false sense of security, implying that a single local NAS is a viable alternative to an off-site storage system of some type. It isn't, and by definition, cannot be. I have a NAS, and I use it. But I also have cloud storage, and, frankly, quite a lot of it. The cloud storage backs up my NAS, and my NAS backs up the cloud storage. Yes, your cloud storage needs a backup too! Just because you have iCloud, or G-Drive, or OneDrive does not mean you are safe. While rare, cloud storage does fail too. Simple human error can cause loss of data stored "safely" in the cloud. If you have ONE copy of a file, then you have ZERO copies.

@PatrickRambles 2 месяца назад

@NathanGregoryAuthor I don’t really see how my title propagates this. I compare NAS storage to internal Mac storage, not cloud storage. It goes without saying that important files need more than one backup.

I’m not a techie, I’m a photographer. Currently running two 10TB drives in raid. Can I run a NAS straight off a laptop. I’d love to ditch my giant windows tower. Hope this makes sense….

@PatrickRambles Месяц назад

Hey Dave, you can even run a NAS off your smartphone, as long as it's hooked up to your modem or router.

Like I said, the software needs to mature. In terms of hardware : none.

@bendover81 2 месяца назад

Hadn't considered a NAS before but this does look like a really cool solution. Would be cool to hear if those enterprise HDDs make a difference.

Ugreen need to mature their software for sure , we don’t need an another player in the market that use a OS that is mature as Qnap security. You know what I mean.

@PatrickRambles 2 месяца назад

Yep, the software needs work, they know it and are working hard on that. It's part of why it's a kickstarter project. The hardware is fantastic so as far as I'm concerned it can only get better. Let's see 😊

I own a Synology dual bay for many many years. It has a more mature software. Keep in mind that every few years you have to replace one or more disks.

@sylvainalain6637 2 месяца назад

@@PatrickRambles 100% agree with you . Their hardware is a killer feature.

Synology is a lot better!

@oscarjeong9438 Месяц назад

Soon you will add more and more to NAS...just like I did...you will need an 8 bay NAS soon. lol

@PatrickRambles Месяц назад

Most likely. I already fitted this one with 4x18TB in a RAID 5 configuration. Seems like a lot but with all these video files it will fill up.

Hey bro - I genuinely love it. It's very low threshold if you're just getting into NAS.

@cristiabc1310 Месяц назад

By the way the smalest version is near same price like an 256Gb upgrade..so why not to buy..its far better usable..

Depends on the drives you put in. WD Red : super quiet. Seagate Iron Wolf Pro : Loud as hell.

HDD's use a lot of energy and are slow a/f. ancient technology. also network delay is prolly to high to run program off of it. so idk what to do with it really.

@PatrickRambles 2 месяца назад

Yeah - of course you can stick SSDs in there for higher speeds but for me this is mainly video storage, I'm not about to edit off of a NAS.

The more logical solution for me would be not buying an Apple product at all. My Windows notebook came with 1 TB of storage and two years later I added another 2 TB for just around 120 Euros. I might replace the 1 TB module by a 4 TB module one day. That is so convenient. Of course I could also use external storage, but I already use external storage for backup. Apple pricing is an insult to its consumers. It should not be possible that Apple uses the fact that the storage is soldered to the board against its own consumers. Consumer protection in the US leaves a lot to be desired. US authorities usually protect the interest of companies, not the consumers.

@PatrickRambles 2 месяца назад

I agree it's ridiculous that we can't upgrade. With that said, Apple is obsessed with quality control and simply won't allow any tinkering. They do abuse this fact by overcharging.

@Sbohems 2 месяца назад

That is really dangerous to recommend NAS technologies to average consumer. Their data are at stakes, so you would better insist on NAS backup using external SSD plugged to the unit and/or scheduling cloud backup. Ugreen should plan that as well in their offer IMHO.

@Sbohems 2 месяца назад

Of course, great review. Maybe having a NAS at everyone’s home will become finally a trend 🤞
